I tested out the SV on Tuesday. It still works. I'm not as comfortable on it as was on my old KTM though. Luckily for me that guy who bought my KTM is going to be there too - so he can humiliate me by passing me on my old bike.

May 9th is also the day the Vintage moto group will be there, so we may have 4 sessions? Or advanced and Intermediate will be combined?

Thoughts of tomorrow's track day are making it difficult to focus on work today. I loaded the 9 into the minivan last night, and already have it taped up. Fuses are pulled. I will be stopping in West Allis on the way home from work to pick up my leathers. I had Alexa at Spyder Leatherworks sew on a 360 degree zipper to my jacket.

I am considering a breakfast stop around 5:45 in Darien or closer to the track. Gate opens at 7, I think...right?

I was there on my cobbled together looking SV650. What you don't see there is my $1500 worth of suspension making everything as compliant and predictable as can be. I ended having a good time riding a bike not a KTM

My old KTM was there too so I had a benchmark.

Here's Breadman hiding behind his Ninja. It must be a big bike to be able to hide most of that guy!

The years of trackdays on the FJR has proven to be a useful tool in body position training. You're really hanging off there man! Head a little lower and people will mistake you for the fastest guy at trackday.

John was there too, along with Sparky and Rocketman.

Shannon, my Mom, and sister also came to enjoy the spectacle.

All of the above pics were taken by Katie (I adjusted some things, rotated and cropped the photos to make the more pleasing to the eye). Good background blur and panning technique -- just like I requested! haha.

WOW Katie took some great pictures! I am not surprised tho, she seems to understand instructions especially when you are the one instructing.
